It was a battle between good and evil.

"Charlie is already sick, and your sister never thinks about you. So why should you care about her? Besides, people who don't look out for themselves are doomed to fail!"

Evil began to chip away at her reason.

Justice pushed back. "No, he's just a child."

But evil whispered again. "Winnie, if you don't take steps to protect yourself, do you want to see your own child disappear?"

Winnie couldn't bear the thought of losing her child.

Over the years, she had worked hard and sacrificed so much, yet Jamie had never acknowledged her efforts. Instead, Jamie had gotten entangled with Ben, even on the day of her engagement party. Ben was her fiancé, and her child was Ben's child!

Yes, only her child had the right to call Ben "Daddy."

This thought filled Winnie's eyes with an icy determination.

Meanwhile, with the recording as evidence, the prosecutor's office and the police launched an investigation into Caden's actions.

The investigation confirmed that Caden had conspired with others to frame Ben, leading to Ben's release and Caden's arrest.

As Ben walked out, Caden was being brought in. The two crossed paths and stopped, facing each other directly.

Initially, Ben hadn't believed someone would betray him. Throughout his career, every case he had taken on had been a victory. Besides, with the Lucas family behind him, who would dare go against him?

But now, knowing that Caden, a friend, had done this with others, Ben felt an ache deep in his chest.

"Caden, you were my friend. In my heart, you were no different from the others who have always stood by me," Ben said, his voice heavy.

Nash, Hunter, and Caleb had been his childhood friends, growing up together. Caden, on the other hand, was a college classmate. He had become a judge while Ben became a lawyer.

Although they met later in life, Ben

had always treated Caden the same as his lifelong friends. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his reputation to give Caden financial support when he needed it. FindNovel

In the end, his trust had been betrayed.

A bitter smile crossed Caden's lips. "Save your speeches, Ben. I lost this round, and I'll accept it."

Caden's conviction was inevitable. The investigation also uncovered corruption and bribery under his name, leading to the seizure of all his assets.

Now, he had nothing.

Caden had expected this outcome and had no complaints, except for one lingering worry. His grandmother, who had raised him with immense care, would now be left vulnerable.

He looked at Ben, knowing it was his

only chance "Please, for the sake of our past friendship, take my grandmother to a care facility. Tell her I've gone on a work trip. Don't let her know I'm in trouble. And Ben, you should thank Jamie."

At the mention of Jamie's name, Ben's expression darkened.

Why should he thank her?

Jamie was nothing to him.

Caden chuckled lightly. "If it weren't for Jamie working as a waitress and recording that evidence of me, do you think you'd be free so quickly? She really loves you so much so that she risked her son's life to save you."

Ben said nothing, but a heavy feeling settled in his chest.

Jamie only cared about money. She was nothing more than a vain, materialistic woman.

There was no way she would have done all that for him.

Seeing Ben's doubt, Caden smirked faintly. "You were with her, Ben. You know what kind of person Jamie is. Don't tell me you don't."
